Link Lesson

A link is an active word, phrase, or image that will jump to another page when clicked on for example: Click Me to go somewhere else. A link is done with a Hyper Reference tag.

Here is how it is done:

<a href="http://www.anywhere.com">Click Here</a>

Using the code above you can create a link in anyone of your pages. Notice the address above "http://www.anywhere.com" can be changed to any address you want. If you are sending a visitor to another page, the address will need to be complete. This includes "http://". If the address you want to send a visitor to is with in your site, then just the file name will work.

For example the address would read:

<a href="anypage.html">Click Here</a>

Here is the way that address work on the internet. Server/Program/Filename.html you can think of it like a telling someone how to find your house, City/Street/Number. You can leave the start of the address off of a link within your site is because, the visitor is already on your server. It is like telling your neighbor how to get to your house you don't need to tell him the the name of the city or the street.

The text that says "Click Here" can be changed to anything that you would like. An image can be placed in that space to create an active image. How to install an image on your page is covered in the Images Lesson 3.

The </a> comes next, this tag ends the Hyper Reference code. Your link will not work with out it.
